You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Throughout this page I use Ad Fotes Media's Media Bias Chart to find political biases in my sources, unless otherwise noted.

Bibliography

As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following:

Is the source from a reliable publication?
- Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking.
- Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts.
Is the source verifiable?
- In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source.
Is the source independent of the subject?
- Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations.
- For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person's webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent.
Is the source primary or secondary?
- Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content.
- Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge.
- Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia.
If you're working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines.
If you're creating a new article, consider the following:
- Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
- In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you're writing about.
- Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations.
- Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don't count towards the notability requirement.
- Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully.
- Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you're trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully.

If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, ask a librarian! If you have questions about Wikipedia's sourcing rules, you can use the Get Help button below to contact your Wikipedia Expert.

Bibliography

Domienik, Lynnea. September 4, 2024. "Abortion funds are running out of money." WBEZ Chicago.^[1]

Video source is from WBEZ Chicago, a part of NPR, so it is a reputable news source. The news outlet is middle/left skewed, though it is local Chicago.

Karlis, Nicole. July 5, 2024. "'Scarcity mindset': As reproductive rights are eroded, abortion funds are running out of money. Salon.^[2]

The article source is published by Salon, a left leaning news source.

Levi, Ryan and Gorenstein, Dan. July 25, 2022. "The role of independent funds to help people access abortion is growing." NPR.^[3]

This source is a news article from NPR, so it is a reputable news source with the same biases present as Domienik's source.

Minor, Jasmine. June 24, 2024. "Chicago Abortion Fund helps out-of-state women get abortions in Illinois after Roe v Wade overturned." ABC 7 Chicago.^[4]

This article from ABC 7 Chicago is politically in the middle and has a factual reporting of "high" according to Media Bias / Fact Check. The news outlet is also local to Chicago.

Schorsch, Kristen. August 28, 2024. "Abortion took center stage during the DNC. But here's why access could be in jeopardy." WBEZ Chicago.^[5]

This article is published by the slightly left leaning WBEZ Chicago, a Chicago based part of NPR.

Examples:

Luke, Learie. 2007. Identity and secession in the Caribbean: Tobago versus Trinidad, 1889–1980 Kingston, Jamaica: University of the West Indies Press.
- This is a book published by a university press, so it should be a reliable source. It also covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Galeano, Gloria; Bernal, Rodrigo (2013-11-08). "Sabinaria , a new genus of palms (Cryosophileae, Coryphoideae, Arecaceae) from the Colombia-Panama border". Phytotaxa.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source. It covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Baker, William J.; Dransfield, John (2016). "Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics". Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source for a specific fact. Since it only dedicates a few sentences to the topic, it can't be used to establish notability.

Outline of proposed changes

Click on the edit button to draft your outline.

I plan to:

Add more bullet notes to Chicago Abortion Fund article about Activism and outreach, using facts from the news articles listed.
Fact-check information not already cited to the article.

Now that you have compiled a bibliography, it's time to plan out how you'll improve your assigned article.

In this section, write up a concise outline of how the sources you've identified will add relevant information to your chosen article. Be sure to discuss what content gap your additions tackle and how these additions will improve the article's quality.

Consider other changes you'll make to the article, including possible deletions of irrelevant, outdated, or incorrect information, restructuring of the article to improve its readability or any other change you plan on making. This is your chance to really think about how your proposed additions will improve your chosen article and to vet your sources even further.

Note: This is not a draft. This is an outline/plan where you can think about how the sources you've identified will fill in a content gap.
